The IARU Region 1 Youth Working Group just held its yearly meeting among its members. Within this virtual gathering various things, as a roadmap, new structure, etc., were introduced and discussed.
Due to its fast growth over the past few years the Youth Working Group gained lots of responsibilities and tasks. Thus, it was decided to appoint a second Vice Chair position to split those among the board members. This doing was clarified with the IARU R1 President and Secretary in advance.
Thus, from Thursday 27th October 2022, Otava Tuomi (OH3OT) serves as a second Vice Chair next to Markus Großer (DL8GM) within the Working Group. Otava is a member since 2019 and currently actively contributing to the well-known ”Train The Trainer” (TTT) program as its coordinator. He will remain within his TTT coordinator position and is further assisting with strategic planning tasks and decision making among the board. All present Youth Working Group members voted in favor, none against, no abstain. We would like to thank OH3OT for his contribution and are looking forward to our common upcoming work in the future.
Furthermore, a new working structure was introduced to the team. It includes a clear allocation of tasks and responsibilities among its members. We would like to thank all involved new team leads and members of the IARU Region 1 Youth Working Group for their trust and therefore continuous outstanding contribution. Without all their efforts nothing would be possible!
Though, to fill in remaining positions within our newly established departments we are always searching for new dedicated additions in various fields to our team. If you want to contribute please let us know at youth@iaru-r1.org.
In case of any questions do not hesitate to reach out to our team at youth@iaru-r1.org.
